Description

Come to a delightful woodland setting next to the State Forest. Our two-story, year-round Cape, built in 1994, sits on one-and-a-half acres --- just a short walk from the State Forest bike path and Greenlands trails. Bright & airy with ceiling fans throughout --- and Air-Conditioning if needed, this well-appointed home sleeps six comfortably. It boasts a well-equipped kitchen with a 5-seat breakfast counter, a new gas stovetop with electric oven and new fridge. The dining room table seats six people. Three attractively decorated bedrooms, two upstairs and one downstairs, offer comfortable bedding: two queens and two singles. Bed linens are included (but not towels). And, we often have owner-transferable ferry tickets for July and August available if needed; see details below.

On the first floor, the living room has a bay window view overlooking one of our flower gardens. French doors lead to a lovely cathedral-ceiling sun room where we provide Wi-Fi internet, cable TV, BluRay/ DVD and a CD radio. Beyond the kitchen, a full-size laundry is adjacent to the first floor bath. An elegant first floor bedroom with queen bed is nearby. The dining room looks out on to a large rear sundeck and an extensive lawn surrounded by woods.

The second floor has a spacious master bedroom with a queen-size bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds, and a full bath in between. Hardwood floors run throughout the house.

Outdoors you will find front and rear sun decks adorned with decorative flower boxes. The rear sundeck has a large teak table with umbrella that seats eight and a grill patio with a Weber gas grill and a charcoal grill. Enjoy a soothing private outdoor shower. Take a nap in our hammock. Play croquet. Our house and its grounds give families lots of room to spread out in a tranquil wooded environment. Flowers are everywhere.

As our guests, you will have access to West Tisbury's private Lambert's Cove Beach, a nearby private association swimming pool and the use of tennis courts each nestled in the woods. We also have Beach Chairs for your use in the basement. The house is centrally located on the island within easy reach of Vineyard towns and attractions.

While the house sleeps six comfortably, it also makes the perfect romantic getaway for a couple, both during summer and off-season when rates are lower and crowds have thinned. Spring and Fall on the Vineyard are lovely.

Guest Reviews

July 8, 2017. We're here again at our rental house in West Tisbury. This is the 20th year at the same house and we've been coming here way before that. Why? Our house is cozy, comfortable with a big, private back yard and deck. It's a hundred yards or so from an idyllic bike path that runs for miles and miles through a pristine pine forest. Can you smell those pine needles? I could go on but I think i'll just let my photos explain why we are drawn back to Martha's Vineyard over and over again. See you on the bike path! - Staceyshow moreshow less

Had a great time and the house was just what we were hoping for. We have been to other venues and been disappointed but not with this vacation. Lynn and I appreciate the condition and care that was represented here. In fact, we would like to stay for the same time frame next year....

A wonderful spot!

We had a perfect week at the Belazis house in West Tisbury. The house was wonderfully comfortable and the yard is really enchanting. We loved having access to Lambert's Cove beach - so perfect for little kids - and the private association pool, which was great for a quick dip before dinner. The house is very private, the kitchen is well stocked with equipment, and our family (ages 70, 66, 35, 35, 3, and a baby who turned 1 at the beach!) enjoyed every minute. Be sure to bring all toiletries and everything you'll want for the kitchen (vinegar, etc.), and enjoy!show moreshow less

This was our first trip to Martha's Vineyard, and we could not have had a better time. Your house is so relaxed and comfortable, and the perfect home base to explore the island. Our two young boys loved the deck and the yard. We cannot wait to come back again. Thank you!

We had such a wonderful time in MV staying at your house. We played board games, grilled, relaxed on the hammock and made wonderful memories. We visited the pool, went to the beach and explored the island. The house was beautiful, it had everything we needed and really helped make this a wonderful trip. We would love to stay again.

We can't match the (W. family) - not quite - but this was our 12th visit and perfect as always. Love what you've done with the front garden, and in fact, the profusion of flowers: perfect. We look forward to our return in 2015.

Thank you so much for maintaining such a beautiful home in Martha’s Vineyard. We all had a great time. We really appreciated how quiet and tranquil the setting was. Being away from a main road enabled my children to have a lot of freedom. They loved riding their bikes on the cul de sac.

Our Home Away From Home: Just came back from our July 2011 visit to our beloved Martha's Vineyard and our West Tisbuy (rental) home. We've rented at this house for many years and have enjoyed it each and every time. We always find it in pristine condition (and we've been to other places about which we cannot say the same thing). It's a cozy and comfortable MV house with a beautiful backyard; secluded, peaceful and quiet. The house is equipped with just about anything you might need for a perfect week on the island. There's a well-equipped kitchen, dining tables inside and out, a brand new Weber gas grill for cooking some just-caught seafood, TV (which we rarely use), radio and cd player. And, oh yes, just in case you feel you can't be totally on vacation - there's a wireless router with speedy internet access to keep you "connected." There's also a very-close-by tennis court and large swimming pool for your use. The best part - the house is situated just yards from the Cornellus State Forest with its fabulous bike path - an achingly beautiful bike/ped path that runs through open meadows and pine forests. Our morning trek takes us from the house to 7A (a new coffee/takeout spot) behind Alley's General Store - 5 miles each way. It's paradise! We hope to return many more times in the years ahead. Thanks to Jane and Ted for providing the perfect getaway - a home away from home.

About Ted Belazis

My wife and I have been offering our beloved West Tisbury home to vacationing families every summer since 1995. Our goal has always been to offer as carefree and tranquil a setting as possible, one that will make our guests want to return to our home year after year. We try to ''think of everything'' that might enhance the comfort of our guests during their visit. In this, we are happy to have succeeded. We are fortunate to have many of the same families returning for their weeks year after year; several families have been returning for more than a decade. One family is in its 20th year. I can't tell you how gratifying it is that so many people share the love of our home and the lovely island upon which it sits.

What is special about this property?We are near the end of a long, paved road that that borders on the W.T. Greenlands and ends at the north side of the State Forest, a short walk to the bike path that rings the State Forest. West Tilbury is a largely rural part of Martha's Vineyard. Our house sits roughly in the middle of the island, allowing easy access to all parts of the Vineyard.
